Prince Harry (40) and his wife Meghan Markle (43) left the UK more than four years ago to settle in North America, seeking privacy and a quieter life to raise their children away from the public eye. As a result, pictures of their son, Prince Archie (6), and daughter, Princess Lilibet (3), are rare. However, a new photo has surfaced recently. Should this have happened?
A new image of Prince Harry and his son Archie is circulating online. The Duke of Sussex is pictured with the young prince and two others riding a jet ski while surfing. A fan account on Instagram named @harry_meghan_updates posted the image, captioning it: “Prince Harry and his son Prince Archie surfing with Raimana Van Bastolaer.”
Raimana Van Bastolaer is a renowned surfer from Tahiti. He now teaches surfing and frequently shares surf-related content online. It seems Harry and Archie have also taken a liking to his lessons. Although the origin of the picture featuring Prince Archie is unclear, Raimana Van Bastolaer himself confirmed that Prince Harry had indeed surfed with him. He posted a video of Harry riding the waves on his Instagram account, writing: “No hate, no anger, no envy. Support brother Harry. Let’s go 2025.”
Regardless of where the photo of Prince Archie originated, fans love it. “My God, Archie looks so much like his dad,” one fan commented under the photo on the fan account. Others expressed joy in seeing the two enjoying life and having fun: “As far removed from the restrictions of the British royal family as one could get!”
Another follower was thrilled about the new hobby Prince Archie seems to have discovered: “Just as Harry said, there are things he can do in the United States with his children that he couldn’t do in the UK, and surfing with his son is one of them.” Meanwhile, Harry’s wife Meghan is preparing to relaunch her presence on Instagram.
